1:10 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us ... Corbett has died during the standoff. We're told it appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Looks like Sandra Bullock had good reason to fear her stalker being released from a mental health facility last year, because he's now causing trouble once again ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... Joshua Corbett is currently in a standoff with cops at his L.A. residence. We're told officers went to his place Wednesday morning to arrest him for violating his probation, but instead of surrendering peacefully ... he threatened harm on them and barricaded himself in his home.

As you may recall ... Corbett was given 5 years probation for stalking Bullock and breaking into her house in 2014 and ordered to get mental health treatment.

Our sources say S.W.A.T. has been called to the scene and the streets around it have been blocked off while they try to resolve the standoff with Corbett.

We broke the story ... Bullock was alarmed when her stalker was back on the streets last June after being released from a mental health facility much sooner than she expected. She got a restraining order requiring him to stay 200 yards clear of her until June 2022.

It's unclear what probation terms Corbett violated to trigger the arrest warrant Wednesday.

11:03 AM PT -- We've learned Jackson -- who goes by J.T. -- was an actor and close friend of Kevin's for more than 15 years. Jackson was in "S.W.A.T.," "Naked" and even in Kevin's movie "Think Like a Man Too." The two have posted several photos together through the years and J.T. even attended Kevin's bachelor party.

Kevin tweeted, "Mind blown ... Hurt ... at a loss for words and simply in complete disbelief at the moment. WOW."

The man who allegedly tried to coerce Kevin Hart into paying him for a sex video has been charged with extortion.

Jonathan Todd Jackson faces 2 felony counts -- attempted extortion and extortion by threatening letter.

Jackson is accused of trying to extort an undisclosed amount of money from Hart, in return for keeping the video secret ... a video showing Hart with a woman in his hotel room in Vegas apparently having sex.

The liaison went down last summer. The video is 4 minutes and 47 seconds long and highly produced. As we reported, both Kevin and the woman claim they had no idea they were being filmed.

Stormy Daniels' manager was subpoenaed by the FBI for documents related to the sale of Stormy's story just before the election, and the FBI was interested enough to also meet with her.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, Gina Rodriguez received the subpoena last month. We're told the subpoena asks for information related to communications between Rodriguez and Michael Cohen, Rodriguez and Stormy Daniels and Rodriguez and Stormy's then-lawyer, Keith Davidson.

Our sources say there were numerous communications between Rodriguez and Stormy as well as Davidson but none related to Cohen. In fact, we're told Rodriguez never spoke with Cohen.

Rodriguez helped engineer the $130,000 payment Daniels received from Michael Cohen just days before the 2016 election.

Kodak Black is wiping the slate clean by dumping his name and flipping his initials -- cause he's now Bill K. Kapri ... and it's all legal and stuff.

TMZ has learned the currently jailed rapper requested, and was granted, the name change by a Florida judge. Bill's attorney, Bradford Cohen tells us his client wanted a "fresh start" in the middle of everything going on with him now. Fun fact: His real name was Dieuson Octave.

We're told he'll still go by Kodak, professionally, when he gets out of jail ... possibly as early as October. As we've reported, he's doing time in a Florida jail for 2 probation violations.

More good news for Bill -- a child services investigation against him has been dropped ... according to Cohen. We're told the agency launched its probe after the January arrest where his child was in the house along with marijuana and ammunition.

Bill has been taking parenting classes while he's in jail, along with working on his GED. Congrats, BK.

10:56 AM PT -- Starbucks just announced it has also reached a financial settlement with the 2 men. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The 2 black men whose arrest at a Philadelphia Starbucks sparked an uproar have settled with the City ... for a symbolic $1 each and a promise from city officials they'll set up a $200k program benefiting young entrepreneurs.

You'll recall Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson were arrested last month after the manager at the coffee giant's Philly store said she called police because the men refused to buy anything or leave. The arrest sparked outrage ... from customers in the store and ensuing protests, to T.I. calling for a boycott.

The men had said they were waiting for a business meeting about a potential real estate deal. The Associated Press first reported the settlement. The Starbucks manager who called cops has since left the company.

Kanye West is not taking his meds, and people close to him believe some of the comments he made on "TMZ Live" were a result of that.

Kanye himself said he was shunning doctors who ordered him to take 3 pills a day ... he says it seriously messed with his mind in a big way and he's now taking 1 or 2 a week.

People close to Kanye say he's talked about slavery before as a metaphor, and was unartfully expressing himself when he said slavery was a choice. In fact, Kanye tweeted, "the reason why I brought up the 400 years point is because we can't be mentally imprisoned for another 400 years. We need free thought now. Even the statement was an example of free thought ... It was just an idea."

We're told the meds have been problematic ... doctors aren't even sure what works and what doesn't, and Kanye is controlling his own destiny by self-regulating ... for better or for worse.

Southwest Airlines had to make another emergency landing when a window tore open during a flight from Chicago to Newark -- but this time the plane got down without any fatalities.

Flight 957 was diverted Wednesday to Cleveland after the window broke -- and a passenger onboard took these photos of the damage before safely exiting.

Southwest says the aircraft is being taken out of service for maintenance review. They've yet to say anything about how or why the window broke.

This scare comes just 2 weeks after another Southwest plane's window was shattered when an engine blew up. The passenger who was sucked out through the damaged window eventually died from her injuries.

Kim Kardashian West is in heavy talks with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner to pardon imprisoned grandmother Alice Marie Johnson ... TMZ has confirmed.

Our sources say KKW has been working with Jared and Ivanka for several months on Johnson's freedom and has gotten her attorney, Shawn Holley, involved as well ... we're told Johnson's file is now on President Trump's desk for review.

Johnson was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges -- her first offense. The 62-year-old gained national attention last year when Kim tweeted out a story about her case.

Alice wrote a thank-you note to Kim -- obtained by TMZ -- expressing her "deep and heartfelt gratitude" for shining a light on the unfair situation. She added, "Ms. Kardashian you are literally helping to save my life and restore me to my family. I was drowning and you have thrown me a life jacket and given me hope."

"Last Comic Standing" star Ty Barnett is HOT over Kanye West saying 400 years of slavery was a choice black people made -- and says Chicago should be done with the rapper.

Ty, who's from Chicago, was in Hollywood Tuesday when he tore Kanye a new one, and not just for the slavery comment. He's also pissed Ye had the nerve to bash former President Obama for not doing anything to help their hometown.

While Kanye's tried to clarify some of the controversial comments he made on "TMZ Live" ... Ty's not having it, and says Mr. West needs to shut up and let a different Chi-Town rapper take the lead.

Toronto Raptors fans got straight-up PERSONAL when taunting Tristan Thompson during Tuesday night's playoff game ... with hundreds of people in the arena shouting, "KHLOE!!!"

Tristan and the Cavs were at Air Canada Centre for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals -- when Tristan stepped to the free throw line in a VERY close game.

The fans tried to do their part in messing with Tristan's head ... and began chanting the name of his baby mama whom he famously cheated on with multiple women.

But somehow, Tristan was able to tune out the haters ... and hit ALL FOUR of his shots from the line. The Cavs ended up winning the game in overtime.

Kylie Jenner had one helluva way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone -- celebrating Travis Scott and Stormi's birthday with one baller getaway.

Kylie posted these pics of her brood enjoying a paradise vacation to celebrate Travis and Stormi hitting another milestone -- Travis turned 26 Monday and Stormi turned 3 months Tuesday.

Stormi can't even walk and already she's proving the lap of luxury suits her well. Last time Kylie and Travis were on a boat it was an adults-only adventure ... but this shindig was all about her (and sure, Travis too, but daddy's little girl trumps all else).

Kylie and Travis looked like they enjoyed the beach all to themselves, which really isn't that surprising. Over the weekend, Kylie said she rented out Six Flags Magic Mountain for Travis' birthday and brought with them Kendall, Kim, Kourtney and Kylie's bff, Jordyn Woods. She said they'd never been.

Of course ... no ocean shot's complete without a glimpse of Kylie's other assets.

Jeep Wranglers don't have your standard trunk, but that didn't stop Playboy model Khloe Terae from putting hers all over one ... and in nothing but a red hot string bikini!

Khloe wiped down the custom job -- it's a Jeep Wrangler JK -- for a photo shoot at DCD Customs in SoCal ... and there's a lot more to these pics than just her fat tires.

The last Wrangler JK rolled off the assembly line in Ohio last week, so there's extra value in this 4X4 ... and not just because Khloe, who's a a big fan of water, gave it a rub down.

Dr. Oz sees a huge red flag when it comes to Kanye West and prescription meds ... and believes he's playing a very dangerous game.

Oz was in NYC Wednesday morning when he reacted to Kanye revealing he got hooked on opioids after having liposuction. He says the rapper's lucky to be alive, but says there was another equally troubling statement.

Kanye told us he had chosen to drastically reduce the dosage of medication he's been prescribed -- presumably before his mental breakdown -- and Oz says he's heading for disaster, if that's true.

Oz thinks Kanye's issues run deep -- all the way back to his mother's death -- and adds that's why he needs to make sure he's taking his prescribed dose of medication.

Pump the baby brakes on Blac Chyna -- 'cause she's definitely not pregnant right now, although that could change ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to Chyna tell us she is NOT currently pregnant with her boyfriend YBN Almighty Jay's kid, despite reports to the contrary. However, we're also told that she DOES want more kids in the future ... and isn't ruling anything out with YBN.

Chyna already has two kids of her own -- one with Tyga, and another with Rob Kardashian. If she got knocked up again ... it'd be baby number 3 for her.

Sounds like it's possible. Fact is, we're told Chyna is in love with the 18-year-old rapper, and IF she were to become pregnant anytime soon ... he's obviously first in the running as the baby daddy. As we've reported ... the couple's been seeing each other since at least February.

Kanye West shouldn't just laugh off gang threats in L.A. ... so says Matt Barnes who says the real gangsters in Los Angeles don't mess around.

The ex-NBA star was leaving Catch when we talked about Kanye's appearance on "TMZ Live" -- including Yeezy's reaction to Daz Dillinger's recent call for the Crips to "f*** up Kanye."

"You gotta be careful," Barnes said ... "They don't play out here with gangs so you're treading on thin ice."

Barnes also reacted to Kanye's confession about getting liposuction -- and says it shows Kanye is "not in a comfortable, secure place as a man."

Barnes says a lot of what Kanye is talking about these days -- from Trump to his views on slavery -- are "bullsh*t" -- but he believes the old Kanye can still be saved.

Mama June's family has officially expanded by one -- because Honey Boo Boo's big sis just got hitched!

June's 18-year-old daughter, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon tied the knot with her fiance, Joshua Efird, Monday night in Vegas ... and then the whole crew hit the Strip for a dinner at Buca di Beppo.

We broke the story a couple years ago when Pumpkin got engaged to her then 19-year-old BF. They'd only been dating for 9 months, and she was only 16. Despite the age gap, June approved of the engagement because the kids were taking things slow.

The plan then was to wait 'til Pumpkin was 18 before getting married ... and that's exactly what they did. They didn't take it slow in the baby department though -- the couple had a daughter in December.

We're told TV cameras were shooting Pumpkin and the wedding party, so it's a good bet the happy event will be on the new season of "Mama June: From Not to Hot."

Congrats!
